How we approach ridge & pitched glass roofs in Woking
We handle ridge & pitched glass roofs across Surrey, including Woking. In short: dual-pitch glazed roofs for side returns, links and long extensions. The survey checks structure, weathering and orientation, so the quote reflects your actual roof.
Orangery-style extensions with lanterns are popular across the South East, and solar-control glass makes a big difference on south-facing gardens. Ridge & pitched glass roofs suit side returns, links and long extensions.
Woking is the main town we list in Surrey; we also cover nearby Guildford and Egham.

What to check first
- Junctions with existing walls need lead or flashing detail
- Large glass roofs affect the energy calculation for the extension
Do you need permission in Woking?
English householder permitted development (Class C) normally covers rooflights that stand no more than 0.15 m proud of the roof plane and stay below the highest part of the roof. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. In an extension, glazing including rooflights is normally limited to 25% of the new floor area plus any windows or doors the extension covers, unless a whole-house calculation shows otherwise.

Common questions
Is a glass roof too hot for a kitchen?
Without care, it can be. Solar-control glass, an opening vent at the top and a blind make a south-facing glass roof comfortable.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
If the work affects a party wall or boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply in England and Wales. We flag this at survey so you can serve notice in time.
How long does a ridge roof take to fit?
Typically two to four days once the walls and supports are ready, depending on length and access.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Woking?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
How do I book a survey in Woking?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
